I travel down to Austin, Texas to interview Chris Godwin on working and setting up a Pagan Pride Day, as well as some very fascinating talk about rituals.

In today's episode, I recall my trip over to this year's Gulf Coast Gathering. Put together by Highland Oak Nemeton, the gathering was a fantastic time! I met a ton of new family members, was initiated in the Bardic Grade, and even handled the role of Herald in the Alban Eilir ritual. I managed to get two very fun interviews - one with fellow Bardic initiate Malbren, and another with fellow attendee Cyn. The musical feature is a song written by one of the attendees - Bran Cerddorion - called "Awen Flows Free (Not in Kansas Anymore), which is about the Gulf Coast Gathering itself. Along with all of that is the debut of a new segment: The Book Corner, which is my take on a book that I recently have read. This debut segment, I talk about Nimue Brown's "Druidry and Meditation". The spoken word segment is a my reading of a Robert Frost classic...

On this episode of Upon a Pagan Path, I get the chance to have a lovely chat with Joanna Van Der Hoeven, author of "Zen Druidry", "Dancing With Nemetona" and "The Awen Alone". We also talk for a short bit about her involvement with The Druid College, how she started on her Spiritual Path, and what's on her digital music player. :) We also have Omnia's "Love in the Forest" from their "Wolf Love" album, and I spend some time with you on the Spoken Word segment with my own poem "Ready to Start It All Again". Come on in and take a short stroll upon a Pagan Path!
